Understanding the Power of Life Company Funding

When most of us think about life insurance companies (also known as “life companies”), we think of purchasing a policy to plan for the future. However, thinking about what life companies do with our premiums will help you to understand why life insurance companies are an excellent source of capital financing for commercial real estate.

Life companies think in the long term: premiums are collected over a period of decades, and making stable, long-term investments is how life insurance companies ensure that funds are available when a benefit payout comes due. While life insurance companies do invest in some stocks and bonds, about 1/3 of their multi-billion dollar portfolio of investments is CRE, or commercial real estate. Because of this long-term outlook, life companies are often willing to make 10, 15, 20, or even 25 year long term fixed loans; in contrast, most big banks prefer short term loans because they generally like to focus on more immediate returns. Of course, the stability of knowing what to expect for many years to come presents a distinct strategic advantage for you as a commercial real estate investor!
